### 4.5. Example 5 - interruption due to operator request

       S:      (listens at TCP port 119)

       C:      (requests connection on TCP port 119)
       S:      201 genericvax news server ready, no posting allowed.

               (assume normal conversation for some time, and
               that a newsgroup has been selected)

       C:      NEXT
       S:      223 1013 <5734@mcvax.UUCP> Article retrieved; text separate.

       C:      HEAD
       C:      221 1013 <5734@mcvax.UUCP> Article retrieved; head follows.

       S:      (sends head of article, but halfway through is
               interrupted by an operator request.  The following
               then occurs, without client intervention.)

       S:      (ends current line with a CR-LF pair)
       S:      .
       S:      400 Connection closed by operator.  Goodbye.
